COMPARE: Models-DHC-DHCx
Compare DHC vs DHCx
Design
- DHC: The DHCR and DHC designs prioritize maximum heatsink performance for both silent passive airflow and fan driven active airflow. Separating the cooling fan from the heatsink avoids having to remove thermal mass and cooling surface area to make room for a built-in fan, which provides the DHCR and DHC heatsinks with higher cooling capacity. The separated fan also allows the fan to be located within unrestricted open air for increased airflow and decreased noise.
- DHCx: The DHCx offers a single item configuration with a smaller product footprint and the convenience of a built-in fan for users that want active airflow cooling.
- DHC: #2 overall performance ranking with optional Fx Cooling Fan, so slightly better than the DHCx.
- DHCx: #3 overall performance ranking compared to the DHC with Fx, but out performs the DHC without the Fx.
- DHC: 6 wide cooing fins and 5 wide vertical air channels for increased cooling airflow for increased cooling surface area.
- DHCx: 5 wide cooing fins and 4 wide vertical air channels for increased cooling airflow.
- DHC: 72 square inches of cooling fin surface area for increased heat transfer to passive and active airflow.
- DHCx: 27 square inches of cooling fin surface area.
- DHC: 2.3 pound heatsink carved from solid aluminum for increased thermal capacity and improved heat movement through thermal mass.
- DHCx: 2.0 pound heatsink carved from solid aluminum for improved heat movement through thermal mass.
